The Rev. John t. Vine.
A friend in New York city sends US the
following
The Rev. John T. Vine, now resident
of New York City, was for many years
one of the leading English Evangelists,
and it may be interesting to know some
thing Of one who is now laboring in this
community. Mr.. Vine has been an extern
siye traveller and has large fund Of de.
scriptive anecdote which he frequently
uses in illustrating some point in his SER
mon. He is thorough Biblical scholar
and has great sympathetic influence with
his auditors.
Mr.. Vines method in conducting re-
Yiyal sesyices are simply on the Gospel
plan and no breaches with sincere energy
and unaffected eloquence. and always
thoroughly arouses his hearers by the
magnetism of his powers, which he un-
doubtedly inherited from his father, the
Rev. Thomas Vine, who was Cor many
years an eminent Congregatonalist min
lister Of Birmingham, England, and who
labored up to the last hour of his life,
having expired in his pulpit, and from his
uncle Rev. John Vine, for whom he was
named, most talented divine of the
Wesleyan Methodist Church and one of
the famous Legal hundred of London"
Mr.. Vine has travelled and preached
throughout the entire kingdom OF Great
Britain, and in this country from Maine
to California and has been wonderfully
successful, his last great revival services
being conducted in the Trinity Baptist
Church of New York City, which CON-
menced last January and continued con.
secutively Cor eleven months, during which
time large numbers of converts were re-
ceived into the church. Lambertyile is
fortunate in securing the services of Mr..
Vine and the good seed which he will SOW
will bring rich harvest.

Lone star Anniversary.

Lone Star Anniversary.
One of the most pleasing occasions of
the kind that we have ever attended was
the anniversary Of Lone Star Lodge, No.
16, Knights of Pythias, of this city, last
Thursday evening. at Knights of Pythias
Hail.
The lodge room is handsomely fitted
up and has cosy and comfortable look
about it, aud the presence of large
number of ladies on the evening in ques-
ton, added materially to the beauty Of
the surroundings. There were also, in
addition to the members of the lodge, a
good array of invited guests of the mas
culine persuasion. =
The exercises were begun by the enter
ing CT representatives of the Grand Lodge,
who after taking their chairs, Installed
the officers of Lone Star Lodge, list of
which will be found in another column.
At the close of these exercises, the new
ly installed G. c., Walter f. Hayhurst,
delivered an address, containing many ex-
cellent thoughts in we'll chosen words, in
which he returned his thanks to the lodge
for the honor conferred upon him.
Supreme Vice Chancellor William A.
Ward, of Newark, was then introduced,
who delivered an address that was chaste
in style, eloquent in thought, and appro-
pirate in choice of theme. 1t held the
close attention of the audience through
out.
This address amply repaid the listeners
for being present, but fine collation. of
cakes, fruits and nuts, followed. after
which various invited guests were called
upon to speak. Clark Pierson responded
for Amwell Masonic Lodge; Mr.. Thos L.
Naylor. for Tuscarora Tribe of Red Men;
Mr.. w. B. Reep, for Red Jacket Tribe of
Red Men, and Mr.. C. H. W. Van Solver
for Maj. G. A. Angel Post, G. A. r.
Before closing, Gen. Ward by request,
rscited war poem, which was beautiful
10 sentiment and in the rendering.
The exercises were intersperscd with
good vocal and instrumental music.
Lone Star Lodge is to be congratulated
upon the perfect success of this entertain
ment to its friends and members.

LETTER FROM pHrLApELpnIA.


The selection of mayor under the new
charter, will soon occur. The Republi-
cans have nominated their man; he is
not o Smith, but Filter, who the people
will undoubtedly fit in the mayorality
chair.
The Democrats are about to nominate
an excellent man too, in the person of
Col. Banes. With two such superb men,
Philadelphia is sure TO have ilrst.class
mayor
The Democrats havn't started the Pro-
hibitionists as yet but no doubt the side
show will be in operation as ever to draw
in weakened Republicans.
The evangelical movement is meeting
with success. The churches and sabbath
schools are crowded aud great spiritual
interest is manifested. House to house
visitation is a prominant feature of the
movement.
MIR. John Wanamaker has changed his
mind about running as an independent
candidate for mayor. Johnny believes in
printers ink.
Believe me when say Philadelphia has
all the attributes Of modern civilization !:
but its special monuments of municipal
progress are the cobble stone pavements,
bad sewers, worse water, costly gas, dirty
streets, large debts, high taxes also a
crowning fifteen million statue of
municipal folly in our City Hall, to re-
mind future generations of their extrava-
CANT and idiotic ancestors.
Independence Hall is still on Chestnut
street above Fifth; and it may be reached
from any part of the city for six cents car
fare, including free walk in case of a
car jam.
Rev. Waldo Messaros, the scandalized
minister, is drawing unusually large audi
ences.

NOTES FROM RINGoEs.

Mr. Joseph Green Quick, of Unionville,
died quite suddenly last Saturday morn
ing. Mr.. Quick was eighty years old and
had been quite feeble several months
previous to his death. He arose during
the morning mentioned, seeming in as
good health'as usual, but shortly after
while looking out of window, near
which he stood, he fell to the floor, dead
The funeral services were held to-day
"wednesday in the Larisons Corner
Church.
Ella Roberts, one of the pupils at the
Pittstown Public School, while coasting
on the school ground, with her mates,
during the noon recess, last Friday, had
leg broken. She and her companion,
who were riding together, were not able
to prevent the sled from running against
the fence which extends along the foot of
the hill, and her leg was caught between
the sled and the fence.
AT present, the demand for houses 10
and about the village seems greater than
the supply.

vhere ignorance IL bliss.

Bob Whitney, of the Bee Line, can tell
some good stories, but his latest is too much
for the boys. While down in the country
last spring he was presented with two
mammoth potatoes, which he duly planted
at his home in Lewiston. 81 took the po-
tatoes, " said he, (" and planted them. Dur
ing the early summer my family got all of
the early potatoes they needed and kept
calling on the garden for supplies. In the
fall ! dug up the potatoes and had three
barrels for winters store from the two
potatoes" "Oh shut up, Bob," said Joe
True, of the Lake Shore; "don't tell that
story to anybody but railroad men. They
don't know anything about potatoes"

ADVISES THE SENATE TO STICK


The Republican Senate, therefore, still
commands the situation. Until il organ
ICES by the election Of presiding officer
and the swearing in of its members it
cannot be required to ballot for Senator
or go into joint convention. Whether it
would be justified in staying permanently
unorganized, in order to prevent the tri-
umph of manifest fraud in the other
branch, is not at present the question -
The Senate deliberately took a position
which should postpone the joint conyen-
ton until the contested seats should be
settled in the House. In this the Senate
was amply justified, and If the issue shows
that the Democratic majority in the
House are willing to become parties to
the Camden fraud, by which Turley holds
his seat, 1t will then be for the Senate to
consider whether it shall fight it out to
the bitter end, and prevent the election of
United States Senator by such base
means as the Democrats have employed.
1t is said that some of the Republican
Senators favor an immediate organiza.
tion. 1t is the misfortune of all such con-
tests that it must depend more or less on
men who have little staying power.
Should the Senate organize while Tur-
ley has seat in the House the Demo-
cratic majority there have every motive
to keep Turley in his seat until 1t be-
comes the duty of both Houses under the
act Of Congress to vote for Senator. The
Republicans will then have no choice but
to meet in joint convention or disobey the
law and injure their cause In any subse-
quent contest, IL there should be one, be-
fore the Senate. The Republicans may
be beaten in the New Jersey contest, but
as yet they have lost no points by mis-
management. The Senate has taken a
position of vantage; no Senator can be
elected as long as 1t stays there, and its
best policy manifestly is to stick. --Phila

Judge T. W. Pittman, of New York
lectured in the Baptist Church, before the
W. c. T. o., last Saturday evening aud
Sunday afternoon, to large audiences. He
is an earnest man with a history. Before
the war he was the editor of Ben Woods
N. Y. Daily Nesos, and radical pro-
slavery and anti-temperance man. Eight
or nine years ago he was converted under
Francis Murphy's efforts, and has since
spoken on temperance in every part of
New York city, and all over the Union.
He is practical lawyer and has held the
position of police judge in New York for
time. He is evidently man with force
of character, good speaker, and calcutta
ted to do good by his efforts among the
drinking class.

A writer in the San Francisco Chronicle
tells of glass road bed in the Yellowstone
Park. In certain part of the park
volcanic glass, or obsidian, abounds, and to
make carriageway fires were built along
the proposed route, and then when cold
water was dashed upon the heated surface,
thus cooling it suddenly, the glass broke,
.A'o fragments, which were easily removed,
until thus road was formed. The cores
pendent writes that the glass oozes from
the rocks like gum from tree. It is al
most black, quite opaque, and the edges of
it, when Clipped of at a proper angle, are
as sharp as razors. Oft the Indians fash.
Toned arrow heads, weapons and tools.

clared contained an account OF big riot
in New York in which one hundred had

they were copies of the Morning Journal,

VAN HORN BROS.

Must we, too, adopt vociferous adver-
Using? We fear our combined horns
are inadequate. Chaffy clamor-it's a
disgrace to the fraternity. Don't be-
lieve half Of it Don't believe ours il
inoredulous. Goods must be out of
date, imprudently aud imperfectly
bought, or greatly marked up, to admit
of such ridiculous quotations. None
but INSCRIPTIONS merchantswill attempt
the fallacy of trying to make sensible
people believe they are selling goods at
half their value. Something wrong.
They'll not sell gold dollars at so cents.
Neither will they sell you good goods at
the same rate.
Take for example Lady's Coat at
$40, fair price. Advertise this same
coat to be worth 1913 or $15, as the case
may be, then quote the price at $40, and
say it's great bargain. Is it not easy
to see the catch and how easy to prac-
tice it
Another good catch is to advertise
Prints one cent below actual cost. It's
an easy matter to,make up the loss on q
single yard of higher cost goods, the
price of which is not so we'll known to
the innocent public.
